Shivnarine Chanderpaul scored a defiant 107 but was unable to prevent West Indies from sliding to a 24-run defeat against Pakistan in the second ODI
An unbeaten century by Shivnarine Chanderpaul could not save West Indies from a 24-run defeat in the second one-day international against Pakistan in Abu Dhabi and the loss of the series.
The veteran left-hander struck 107 not out as the Windies attempted to overhaul their opponents' 232 but they came up short as they could not score fast enough in the closing overs, eventually being bowled out with seven balls remaining.
Misbah-ul-Haq's half-century had helped the 'home' side to their competitive total after they had been reduced to 87 for four.
Although he was easily outscored by Chanderpaul, the rest of the Caribbean team failed to make a contribution.
The loss of openers Chris Gayle and Sewnarine Chattergoon, both without scoring, left Windies in deep trouble at 14 for two in the fifth over.
However, Chanderpaul and Ramnaresh Sarwan turned things around with a stand of 92 in 23 overs.
Sarwan was eventually trapped lbw by Shahid Afridi for 45, having hit four fours in his 64-ball stay at the crease.
From that point it was all about Chanderpaul as of the remaining seven batsmen only Nikita Miller (12) made double figures.
The left-hander hit six fours in 149 balls but as his partners failed to make an impact the pressure - and run rate - began to increase.
